Chapter 1152: Chapter 1151: Shocking Appearance of the Cave Entrance
"What the hell is going on?"
Nie Lei stared at the scene in front of him, his face full of confusion as he looked toward Lin Fan!
Lin Fan shook his head, indicating he didn’t know either, and said, "Come on! Let’s go take a look!"
With that, Lin Fan and the others immediately stepped onto the high platform. After squeezing through the crowd, they came right to the front!
However, when Lin Fan saw the scene before him, the expression on his face also changed abruptly!
Not far in front of the Snake Woman statue, a black hole had actually appeared!
Someone was shining a flashlight into the black hole, but it was far too dark inside to see anything at all. Thick smoke billowed within, and the beam of the flashlight couldn’t penetrate very far before being blocked by the rolling smoke; no one had any idea how deep this black opening went!
Miao Qiaomei saw Lin Fan and hurried over, saying, "You’re here!"
"What’s going on?" Lin Fan asked suspiciously.
"I don’t know either. When we came to worship the gods this morning, we discovered that this black hole had appeared here. And besides that, there are deep pits all over the surroundings as well!" Miao Qiaomei said!
Lin Fan frowned deeply. Faced with this scene, he really didn’t know how to explain it!
All of a sudden, Lin Fan thought of last night’s lightning storm and immediately asked Miao Qiaomei, "Right! Did you see the lightning and thunder yesterday?"
"Of course! It was terrifying, like one thunder dragon after another!" When Miao Qiaomei recalled the scene from last night, she still felt lingering fear.
"Then over all these years, every rainy season, has the Miao Race ever had weather like last night’s?" Lin Fan pressed.
Miao Qiaomei thought carefully for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Every rainy season, when it rains, the Miao Race always gets lightning and thunder, fiercer than other places, but we’ve never had anything as terrifying as last night!"
Hearing this, Lin Fan grew even more certain of the suspicion in his heart!
These deep pits were very likely caused by last night’s lightning!
Lin Fan remembered once seeing a news report about a remote mountain village where similar lightning storms often occurred. One time, lightning struck the mountaintop, blasting out crater after crater, causing a landslide and a massive fire that burned down the entire forest!
But after the fire was extinguished, they discovered that a passage had appeared on the mountaintop, and beyond that passage was a huge ancient tomb!
Afterward, some experts said that ancient tombs usually contained bronze burial objects, and on a mountaintop, the place closest to the heavens, bronze being conductive, lightning might coincidentally be drawn to the bronze buried underground, which was what caused the landslide and the blaze!
As for whether what happened in this Miao Village had anything to do with what that expert said, Lin Fan still couldn’t be sure!
"This must be punishment from the gods upon our village, it has to be!" At this moment, an old man suddenly roared, then dropped to his knees in front of the Snake Woman statue, kowtowing over and over!
As soon as the old man knelt, many others followed, prostrating themselves on the ground.
"It’s him! It must be him trying to dig open the tomb passage and angered the gods, that’s why the gods are punishing our village!"
At this time, Miao Axiong suddenly jumped up and pointed at Lin Fan, shouting furiously!
And with Miao Axiong’s roar, many people were swayed by his words. The way they looked at Lin Fan grew icy cold!
"Motherfucker! I think this kid is tired of living!" Nie Lei cursed angrily, grabbing the pistol at his waist!
But just as Nie Lei was about to act, Lin Fan stopped him!
"Boss, this bastard is too much!" Nie Lei growled through gritted teeth.
Lin Fan patted Nie Lei’s shoulder, then strode toward Miao Axiong!
This bastard had provoked his authority again and again; Lin Fan was completely done holding back!
Miao Axiong knew full well how terrifying Lin Fan was. Watching Lin Fan walk over, he cried out in panic, "You... what are you going to do?"
"Since you say I angered the gods, then I’ll represent the demon and punish you!" Lin Fan shouted!
As soon as he said this, Miao Axiong shuddered violently. Seeing Lin Fan getting closer and closer, he suddenly shrieked, "Go to hell!"
As his shout fell, a long snake suddenly shot out from under Miao Axiong’s clothes!
However, Lin Fan was ready for this. The instant the snake appeared, Chu Lingtian quickly drew the Soft Sword and slashed through the air!
"Swoosh~"
A blinding streak of cold light flashed through the air. When they looked again, the long snake had already been cut into two, turning into a corpse!
Then Lin Fan gave Miao Axiong no chance to react. With one stride he rushed right up to him, thrusting the Soft Sword forward; the sharp tip instantly pierced the skin of Miao Axiong’s throat, and thin threads of blood seeped out!
But Lin Fan hadn’t gone for the kill, only pricking the skin of Miao Axiong’s throat!
Yet in the eyes of the crowd, this scene was utterly terrifying!
Because they hadn’t seen at all how Lin Fan moved. They only saw a black shadow flash out of nowhere, and then this scene followed!
Lin Fan said coldly, "Don’t move, or I can’t guarantee my Soft Sword will only pierce your skin next time!"
Miao Axiong turned deathly pale with fright; he didn’t even dare swallow his own spit!
Then Lin Fan looked around at the people and said, "Everyone, I came here with sincerity, but it seems you don’t welcome me. If others don’t offend me, I don’t offend them. Unfortunately, you’ve completely enraged me!"
"Right now, the appearance of this hole is not my doing, but something fated in the dark. It’s heaven showing a path to me and to you. Yet you think I angered the gods. Ridiculous!"
"Now, I’m giving you one last chance to cooperate with me. If you do, I won’t lay a hand on your village. But I will cut off everything you rely on here—signal, electricity. Anyone from your village who leaves will be arrested and interrogated by the police."
"Sorry! Don’t say I’m being ruthless; it’s you who are forcing me to be ruthless!"
With that, Lin Fan drew back the Soft Sword, coiling it once more around his waist, then turned and walked toward the hole!
This time, after hearing Lin Fan’s words, these Miao People finally had no objections at all!
Death isn’t what’s most frightening. What’s truly terrifying is not letting you die, but making you and your descendants live in a state worse than death!
Now these people were finally scared; they no longer had the guts to try to stop Lin Fan!
Lin Fan crouched in front of the hole, carefully observing the inside, but it was too dark in there, and the thick mist blocked his view. He really couldn’t see anything clearly!
Then Lin Fan picked up a fairly large stone and tossed it into the hole!
